One of the largest cities lying north of the Arctic Circle, Tromso is a superb launch point for exploring Norway’s north whilst featuring the restaurants, transportation, and accommodation of a major metropolis. A charming city in which to experience the midnight sun or witness the Northern Lights, Tromso is modern and sophisticated, boasting some fine architecture, including its landmark Arctic Cathedral. Yet Tromso never forgets its extraordinary location set across three islands for long, meaning an array of outdoor activities abound, from soaring helicopter tours and unforgettable sea kayaking trips to snowmobiling and reindeer-sledding, depending on the time of year you visit.
